Injili Ministries to Bring "Ask Pastor John" to Swahili Speakers

Injili Ministries is thrilled to announce a partnership with Desiring God to translate an initial 100 episodes of the popular "Ask Pastor John" podcast into Swahili.

This initiative marks the beginning of what we pray will grow into a constant supply of sound biblical materials being made available to the church in Africa. For too long, pastors and church leaders, particularly in rural areas, have been isolated from the global stream of theological resources due to finances, geography, and crucial language barriers. This new partnership is a direct step toward bridging that gap.

The "Ask Pastor John" podcast, with its conversational, question-and-answer format, is perfectly suited to the oral cultures found across Africa, making deep theological truths accessible and easily shareable. By bringing Pastor John Piper's wisdom to a Swahili-speaking audience, we are taking a significant first step in equipping the church with resources that are both globally recognized and locally accessible.

This project represents the first phase of a larger vision. We are beginning with Swahili, a major language spoken by approximately 86 million people, with the hope of expanding this library of resources into even more local vernacular languages in the future. While we champion the development of healthy, internal theological voices within Africa, we believe it is vital to remain connected to the global body of Christ and the rich heritage of faithfulness it offers

Our mission is made possible through partnerships like this and the faithful prayers and financial support of people who share our vision. We are deeply grateful for every supporter who stands with us as we seek to equip the African church for the glory of God. This is just the beginning, and we are excited for the fruit this project will bear. To give to this and many more project, click the link below.
